Montana Leads The Nation In One Unexpected Online Search

What Are Montanans Searching For More Than Anyone Else?

We're number one, we're number one!

Granted it's just for a Google search, but seriously, we're the number one Google search for this very specific topic.

Montana’s Google Search Boom: What’s Driving the Surge?

By now we all know about working from home or working remotely; it might actually be the reason why our real estate market is so out of whack lately.

But now there is a new type of job that people are finding out about, and that is "fly-in, fly-out" jobs.

It turns out these types of jobs are very interesting to Montana residents, but what industry makes the most out of these FIFO jobs?

Fly-In Fly-Out vs. Remote Work: What Montana Wants in 2025

You may remember during Covid there was lots of talk about traveling nurses, which is where I first really learned about "fly in, fly out" jobs.

However, here in Montana, the types of jobs we're searching for are more in the mining, construction, and energy industries.

It makes sense, as these are all jobs that tend to slow down or are seasonal in nature. By exploring "fly in, fly out" opportunities, you have the potential to boost your salary and choose your work schedule.

It's not just a few Montanans searching for this either; when comparing "work from home" job searches to "fly in, fly out" job searches, it's 70% FIFO compared to 30% WFH searches.
